Yes the album really is called 'Father Of Asahd' :')

We're finally getting the Bieber collab though, this Friday. Could challenge for #1, though it'll have to be really big to topple Drake. Excitement.

That album title :')

Hope the song this Friday lives up to expectations... 'I'm The One' managed to age as soon as September came along last year and 'Top Off' was a mess.

The Bieber collab has been B-Listed by Radio 1 instantly. Whether that is hype or genuine quality we will find out at midday.

Premiering at 5pm on Beats 1.

“No Brainer” still hasn’t been released despite being playlisted by R1

Posted by: JosephAvery 27th July 2018, 04:18 PM

It's out at 6pm.

Posted by: Jonjo 27th July 2018, 05:07 PM

Im disappointed. It's an actual mess. Where is the melody of 'Wild Thoughts'/'I'm The One'?

WE THE BEST MUSIC

DJ KHALED

I rest my case.

Oh this won’t be a #1 I like it but I’m The One was way better despite Lil Wayne

Posted by: hlavkus 27th July 2018, 06:08 PM

It's not as instant as "I'm the One" but it's definitely growing on me

Posted by: ML Hammer95 27th July 2018, 06:11 PM

It sounds like a mix of 'I'm the One' and Natalie La Rose's 'Somebody'. The beat stuck in my head on first listen (debatable if that's good or bad).

Not as instant as 'I'm the One' but that got old quickly. I suspect this will be a grower, but won't have the same impact (or be commonly remembered in years to come).

I quite like it, it's quite catchy, and it's better than I'm the One.

I could do without Quavo's bit, but luckily it's only short.

Posted by: danG 27th July 2018, 10:09 PM

not quite as good as I'm the One but I wasn't expecting it to be, I'll take it. no way is it a #1 contender though not with Sir Drake still big as ever.

Posted by: mdh 28th July 2018, 03:47 PM

Aside from Quavo's part, I'm surprisingly really enjoying this. Chance's part is great and the production is pretty funky.

DJ Khaled has said that this is his best album to date and that it will be released in May

DJ Khaled is essentially this generation's Fatman Scoop (i.e. an annoying, shouty, talentless twat).

Posted by: Moses 6th March 2019, 01:59 PM

That’s being very kind!

Also "Be Faithful" is aces

Posted by: danG 6th March 2019, 02:57 PM

What took him so long to announce anything then? And still no single announcement, 'No Brainer' feels like forever ago.

Posted by: Theonix 17th May 2019, 07:11 AM

So this was released today:



Just Us and Celebrate have been added straight to Today's Top Hits so I imagine they'll push both on Spotify before deciding on the single

Posted by: Theonix 17th May 2019, 01:14 PM

I'm listening through at the moment and this is a terrible album Only Just Us is listenable so far, and that's mainly down to SZA. The sample of So Freakin Tight is dire

Posted by: Mack. 28th May 2019, 12:29 PM

I notice that in the video for 'Jealous', Chris Brown is doing a Nelly with a plaster on his cheek. 'Jealous' it's all right but it's no 'I'm The One' from DJ Khaled.

Posted by: shadow2009 28th May 2019, 07:07 PM

It annoys me how he has to always feature in his videos and do random shout-outs and endless tags for himself. I get that he's a producer but it's just so distracting and cringey watching him just stand around and shout "DJ KHALEDDDD" in every video. We know you produced it. We know what you look like. Just let the vocalists do their thing?

Posted by: Dircadirca 29th May 2019, 01:27 AM

A lot of the time this isn't true though

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 29th May 2019, 01:10 PM

What does he actually even do then?

Posted by: Bjork 29th May 2019, 01:53 PM

guess he's producer too

but really wish he stopped with the shouting nonsense, I always skip his songs on playlists like NMF or HH cos of that, it's pretty idiotic imho to keep shouting "we the best music" or "another one" in every song, and not just at the start, in the middle of the song too

Posted by: Dircadirca 29th May 2019, 03:34 PM

I think a lot of the time it's that he's the curator of bringing all these big name artists together, as a label boss/influencer with a lot of connections. And I guess say what you will about his ad libs and whatnot, but there's an established brand, and he gets hits.


I did have a laugh when I was listening to his new chart entries last weekend, track 2 "Wish Wish" ends with 'another one', and then 5 seconds into track 3 "Jealous" is the very same 'another one', like there's no illusion of an album that's meant to be listened to as a cohesive product

Posted by: Bré 29th May 2019, 05:32 PM

Khaled is essentially more like a marketer than a musician, and he's been very successful at marketing by basically turning his entire life and personality into a huge meme.

For what it's worth he is credited as a producer on every song on this album. So maybe he's doing something somewhere.
